Nicole Dow

Certified to teach PLTW curriculum of High School Engineering, Middle School Robotics, Medical Detectives and the entire Elementary Program. I personally applied and received grants valued over $75k to implement this program for my current school.

Created and implemented several classes in a wide variety of topics including Robotics, Homesteading, Make and Sell, US History, Civics and Debate, Growth Mindset, and Gameschooling. Believe in meeting students where they are at and teaching in a hands on, creative way where critical thinking skills and problem solving are the core of my classes.

Created a team of 8 students ages 9-14. Taught them how to build, code, and complete missions with a robot. Competed in a local competition where the students did very well. We placed second in the Core Values section.

We won this award by our behaviors and actions throughout the tournament season.

Provided service to people with special needs, getting them out and about into the community to different events and functions. Each client had different goals we were working on in the community. The goal of this program was to give people opportunities they may not be able to get if they were out by themselves and to work towards being able to live a more independent life.

I managed a team of counselors who worked with families with special needs. I also had my own caseload of clients where I worked directly with families, counseling and helping them find the resources that they needed.
